The Third Guelph Symposium on Computer Mediated Communication

UNLOCKING HUMAN POTENTIAL VIA CMC

May 14 - 17, 1990

University of Guelph
Guelph, Ontario, Canada

The urgent problems of the 1990's require newly synthesized knowledge,
judgement and insight for their solution. Technologies that amass and
distribute information continue to proliferate; however, technologies alone
are merely tools. Solutions, being creative products of the human
mind, may fail to appear without the stimulus of discussion and the synergy
of shared construction and evaluation. Only communication technologies
that enable human-to-human exponential creativity can hope to intercept
the accelerating crises of our global environment and economy.

The Third Guelph Symposium presents reports from three continents on the
latest research and applications of computer mediated communication as it
unlocks human potential within individuals, organizations and communities.

An extra-fee seminar on Monday, May 14 offers a showcase of interactive
and database technology at work. University of Guelph faculty and staff
will demonstrate and describe a wide range of computer-based interactive
and informational activities that have been taking place on this campus
throughout the last decade.

Who should attend?

Educators will benefit from a number of papers addressing the explosion
of educational applications of computer mediating communication.
Applications for distance education, post-secondary on-campus programs
and primary and secondary schools will be discussed.

ALLC-ACH90, the major annual event in humanities computing, begins
on 4 June, one month from now. Full details of the conference are on
the HUMANIST file server or can be obtained from the local organiser,
Helmut Schanze, GC130@DSIHRZ51, phone (+49) 271 740-4110.
